Getting Hit in the Head by a Volleyball
My Google-fu seems to be rather weak and I haven't found anything on what I'm looking for. I used the keywords volleyball, high school, and head injuries all in various states of quotes, etc.
In my story I'm thinking of having my character playing volleyball in her high school physical education class and getting hit in the head with the volleyball because she's not paying attention. I don't want it to be too serious of an injury, really just something where the teacher sends her down to the nurse and the nurse maybe gives her an ice pack and has her lie down or stay there to make sure she's okay.
Is this a plausible scenario or would she get hurt worse than that or sent to the hospital to be checked out? If so, any suggestions on how she can still be hit in the head during phys ed where it isn't too serious?
This takes place in the US at a public high school, I have no idea what state though.
ETA: Takes place in May of 2006
